Anybody else notice how ‘quiet’ the dems have gotten all of a sudden? Talk about pulling in their horns… And all of a sudden, the dems infighting is nowhere to be found on the MSM.
Found this one, of all places at Hindustan Times-
We all know this has been an ongoing ‘issue’ with rhetoric ramping up even more in the last year or so…
We now know who the shooter was, and I won’t be naming him. Trump was lucky in many ways, some are even saying divine intervention took place (not discounting that either). The shooter tried a head shot and missed by less than an inch. I’m not going to go down that rathole, shooters will know what I’m talking about. Sadly, one dead and two injured in the crowd behind Trump were the actual victims.
Corey Comperatore was killed protecting his wife and daughter. David Dutch, 57, of New Kensington, Pennsylvania, and James Copenhaver, 74, of Moon Township, Pennsylvania, are in stable condition. Strangely, the ‘best’ coverage is from the BBC, HERE. Those folks and families need our prayers.
Right after the miss, the media started blowing up across the board… And of course the cellar dwellers got in on it…
I don’t do tic toc, but apparently the Libs of tictoc collated a bunch of the more egregious ones, so you could go check them out for ‘lowering the temperature’…
Kudos to X for promptly shutting a bunch of that crap down!
There was definitely a breakdown in the protective coverage, HERE is a good precis of that. They did take too long to get him off stage and into the vehicle, and shouldn’t have let him be visible, but the female agents weren’t capable of actually blocking him, even though they tried. Shoes should have been the LAST thing they were worried about!!!
These are just a few of the reactions above. Of course the MSM immediately jumped in about how Trump should have NOT said fight, but should have immediately tried to defuse the situation… Welp, Morning Joe got yanked preemptively…. HERE. And there are bunch more HERE.
So the same Department of Justice who is pulling out all the stops to prosecute and jail President Trump, is going to investigate itself to determine what failures occurred in the assassination attempt… What we will probably never have, based on whom is investigating, is a true report on the actual breakdown, who did what, when, and how. We will always have ‘suspicions’…
There are plenty of ‘experts’ all over everybit of media, etc. giving their two cents worth for airtime, and filling the cycle, but I really doubt how much they even know of the actual event/leadup…
The Tribes campaign will return to its track of lies and violent rhetoric within days. They must because that’s all they have. They’ve beat that drum for so long now, their useful idiots can’t hear anything else.
What gets me is the calls from the left for both sides to ‘tone down the rhetoric’. Maybe I’m missing it, but I’m seeing calls for the right to use laws in place to remove a man from office and the left is calling for the death of their opponent. Not equal whatsoever.
It’s because they fear that we will use the same tactics they try to use against us against them.
Like all the Covidiocracy. They forced people to get the jab, upon pain of not being able to buy food, work, get other medical help, keep their jobs. They investigated and jailed and shut down people who were resisting. Now, as the truth about Covid has come out, they’re asking for us to tone down our response and anger. “Mistakes made, tee-hee, time to forgive, tee=hee…”
Yeah, no. Every act, every word, every investigation, another drop in the bucket. When the bucket is full, a whole bunch of whoop-ass will come poring out.
I live in PA not far from the shooting site. The shooter lived in an adjacent county and had to drive to Butler County Fair grounds. First of all how did he automatically know where the stage was going to be and what building to immediately go to to take his shot? Also why was there a ladder leaning against the building making the shooters access to the roof easier. Also why did the cop who had the shooter by the ankle not have his weapon out of the holster when he went up the same ladder after him and at least wound the shooter in order to stop him? People had told him the shooter was armed. Also why was the cordon off area not include the buildings that close to where Trump was speaking? Just 130 yards away is not a long shot with a 3×9 scope for someone who goes to the range to practice. The shooter in this case did go to a local Sportsman club frequently to shoot. The FBI doing the investigation is like having the fox inspect the hen house. Don’t forget the FBI was behind the false Russia hoax.
As a local officer, I was involved in 2 Presidential visits and 1 former Presidental visit. On the Presidential visit, security was massive and by the final briefing every door in each building he was scheduled to visit and each roof had someone by name assigned as well as rovers to give breaks every hour or so.
The former President visit had fewer agents but every door in the venue had someone by name assigned and a place the President’s vehicle could pull inside to minimize the risk of snipers. Before his speech he took an hour to meet all the Gold Star families in the region and pray with them.
This seems to have been an acute lack of manpower and planning problem. I’ve read the advance visit was only conducted 2 days before, no way that was sufficient. People should be fired for it.
This is just a hiccup in the lefts attempt to destroy Trump. And since their lawfare efforts are crashing and burning they don’t have many options left. They WILL try again to kill him. And this time they won’t rely on a lucky amateur. If I were Trump I’d give up golf for a while. Being outside is an invitation to get shot. Next time by a pro. As for “what happened?”. We’ll never know, because the FBI has already eradicated much of the important evidence that doesn’t serve the left’s agenda.
If I had Trump’s money, and backing, I think I would be hiring some people good at their trade to find out who was involved. In fact, I think that’s what’s happening, and also think there are some people with loose bowels wondering their fate while wandering the halls of the capitol.

Probably people are tired of me beating the drum of the winner will be determined by those who count the vote. If there are any Republicans, other than Trump, with balls they will make an all out effort to have an army of poll watchers in place at least a month before the election. Emphasis should be on the densely populated blue cities and counties. Those election officials will fight hard to deny the poll watchers access so the Republicans should have in place lawfare tactics. Every state has different procedures so the plans must be tailored for each county/city.
In years past I was a precinct committeeman and have watched many vote counts. Election judges are often overlooked as it is a one time assignment and few want the job. The Republicans must insure their election judges are present. Those judges must have some training ahead of time independent of what is provided by the election officials.
This election may be this country’s last chance to save the Republic, IMO.
It looks like Elon Musk is stepping up to the plate regarding the polls.
All- Good points! Mike, thanks for the boots on the ground comment. I’ve worked with WHCA before and I know what you’re talking about. WSF- You’re right, too!
I believe that they knew about the shooter and made sure he was able to get a shot. They are now claiming (according to someone yelling at me) that the SS ROE are that you CAN NOT SHOOT UNTIL AFTER THE ASSASSIN HAS FIRED FIRST.
Yeah, the stupid is strong in some people. They have no explanation as to why the other 7 shots were allowed.
This was a set up. This was the deep state taking things in hand. That SS sniper? Hell ALL of the SS detail, need to be fired, and investigated for why they couldn’t do their damn jobs. The gal who took shelter behind Trump? Yeah, WTF?
The head of the SS needs to not only be fired, but investigated as well. Along with the head of Homeland. She’s already deflecting blame and refusing to take responsibility – oh she’s sorta saying she is, but if she really was, she’d have resigned by now.
I don’t think there has ever been a more blatant failure of the SS in history. They waited HOW LONG to take Trump down and shield him? Five shots? Trump needs to bring in his own team and get rid of the SS, because it’s only going to go downhill from here. The had 26 minutes to catch this guy. And they just willfully ignored him and are now making every excuse in the book.
Take the following with a bunch of salt…
I think I’ve seen the same comments about the ROE, but the version I saw (along with pics agreeing) was that the countersnipers in the video were Police, not SS. A guy claiming to be the countersniper shooter said he could not get permission, and he took his shot(s) after the creep started, still without a “go”. For his efforts, he says he was arrested and released, and fired from his position.
As I said, take with salt. With everything else in this cluster—-, I have a hard time discounting it.
Comperatore’s widow refused the phone call from Brandon.
She missed a great chance to scorch his ear.
Silence is golden.
If it had actually been Biden on the call, do you think that he would have understood her? 😉
I read the comments from one of his daughters. Had a major amount of dust to deal with. One true hero.
You can’t “scorch” Pedo Joe verbally. There’s no body home in the mush brain to comprehend a verbal lashing.
Ace Of Spades has some interesting observations, but these should be viewed objectively, if that word is accurate, just like all the other commentary.

This will ruffle some feathers, but the claims that this was a “fix” and a “conspiracy “ are on exactly the same level as the claims that it was a “fake” and a “false flag”.
Trump Derangement syndrome is real. So is Biden Derangement Syndrome. I’ve heard as many Trumpists make inflammatory claims about Democrats as I have Bidenists about Trump. Get a grip!
Those of us with training in dealing with systemic failures know that a failure at this level rarely occurs at just one point. It is normally a daisy-chain of failures that would not normally be significant. Keep in mind that *just because you don’t know something, doesn’t mean that it didn’t happen*.
The following narratives are in the public domain. You may wish to suspend judgement until they have been verified.
– There were four counter-sniper teams, two from the USSS and two from local law-enforcement.
– The building used by the shooter was designated to be secured by the local law enforcement, as it was outside the USSS secure perimeter.
– The building used by the shooter had been identified as a risk, and there were Police *inside*.
– Police *did* attempt to climb onto the roof , but a route other than that used by the shooter. The officer in the lead was using *both hands* to support his weight, which is why his gun was not in his hand and he was not able to fire when faced by the shooter. Reports are that he fell and was injured.
– Eye-witnesses pointing at the building were not able to hear Police comms, or view the Police response from *the other side of the building*. Police “doing nothing”, were scanning their own sectors and trusting their fellow-officers to get the job done.
– The building used by the shooter was not in the assigned sector of the CST that stopped him, and he was hidden from them while climbing the *reverse slope* of the roof. He only became visible to them when he came up over the roof-ridge and started shooting.
IF, repeat IF you believe in the principle of “innocent until proven guilty”, you will not rush to judgement . Especially a judgement based on gaps in your own knowledge.
No-one is denying that there was a monumental failure. I am in full agreement that diversity hires that do not meet the proper standards are a part of that failure and should probably be a sacking offence.
…… and Teddy Roosevelt would have finished the speech.
I don’t think that the SS allowed him to finish. Teddy Roosevelt had no SS detail to stop him from making his speech.
Bob…
That’s a fair comment, as far as it goes.
Just saying that Trump isn’t all that special.
More info.
None of which fails the common-sense test.

I was always under the impression the Secret Service really had their shit together on security details , and ran tight with good planning and coverage . I really did think they ran potential bad scenarios , and scoured the entire area of operations thoroughly , basically thought through “where are the security weak points” and “where would I operate as a bad guy” . That’s all I got , except one more point , the media keeps saying an “AR Style rifle” was used , not that an AR was used , to my ears from the video clips I heard that sure as shit sounds like .22LR at a rapid rate of fire , perhaps an M&P 15-22 , a look a like , not of any use to me as one who collects 22’s , but they sell ’em and they are an “AR style” rifle . But the audio quality is not the greatest , and it is neither here nor there as this shit happened and sadly another misfit with a gun took an innocent life , injured 2 more and came damned close to killing President Trump . Security failed , unacceptable .
Kyle Gass, who is in the rock duo Tenacious D with actor Jack Black, has been dropped from his talent agency. He was on stage in Australia, and they brought out a birthday cake for him – and told him to make a wish. He said, “Don’t miss Trump next time”. An Australian Senator contacted the immigration minister to revoke their visas and deport them stating “Anything less than a deportation is an endorsement of the shooting and the attempted assassination of Donald J Trump,” he said. The tour has been cancelled, and of course, he’s apologizing all over the place.
